Dr. Xin Is Back!

[dazzer1975]

I received an email from Xin 4 hrs after sending an email to him today.

Previously none of the 4 or 5 emails have ever been acknowledged.

*edit* thought people would be interested to know what he said, he said this:

"All orders are heavily delayed." along with some other info relating my order which wasn't pertinent to this thread.

However, tell us something we don't know xin lmao

i am going to have a go at emailing him now also, see if he still knows what my order is and just re-confirming it all.

edit: quite unbelievable, i just got a reply with the immortal words of "ok, thanks, xin" - i got this reply within 5 minutes of sending it!!

Was that all he said?

it was yes, verbatim.

i have only ever gotten that or similar 3 word replies, even to half a page of my rambling, hehe

His 'reply' is beyond sad.

He seems to want people to know he is back, but I figure he can't be emailing all day and have time to be building amps at the same time.

gee folks........that's the way to go. Bombard him with emails. It seems the ideal thing to do - if you find reading/answering emails is better than him actually building the amps. Personally, I choose to eschew sending any email unless absolutely, positively necessary!

to be honest, that was how i felt, but then i had the ominous feeling that unless i reply to him and re-confirm my order now, how am i supposed to know that it is 'in-hand' - i dont want to wait another 6 months only to find out that he only started processing the orders that were brought to mind recently.

who knows, i cant speak for his filing system or order line, and how he goes through them all again. what i am saying is you have nothing to lose by making it fresh in his mind once more.

"I choose to eschew sending any email unless absolutely, positively necessary!"

well it could well be that reminding him of your order is positively necessary in terms of you receiving it, with xins seemingly scatterbrain approach to orders!

These aren't mass produced items. There is a wait. If you didn't know this before you sent in your order, you didn't do your research. Maybe find a new hobby.

Really? 15 months ago there was information available that suggested delivery may take more than 15 months?


I must have missed it...

Well Iv got a reply from him too. I must be fairly near the front of the queue (3rd April last year).
But no estimated build time yet.

I really hope he is working hard to build the backlog for everyone's sake.

I totally agree. let's flood him with emails so he won't have time to do anything but answer them all! great idea. i do agree with quaddy though, and i see his point about making sure the order is there. but beyond that, it's pretty rediculous IMO.

and I agree that he should be sending amps out, and this isn't the best thing to do to everybody. but i also think it's kind of amazing how many people are spending their time hovering in this thread just to throw insults into every page. i guess it's understandable why you are angry though

I needed to contact him since it is so long since I ordered that I couldn't remember what I ordered and my credit card has expired since then so he needed the new number.

How is the Reference sounding?

well, this is from Xin:

"If you emailed to us but have not got a reply yet, please email again, so I don't have to dig all way back to find your mail."

i agree that frivolous emails should be avoided, but after a year of being incommunicado i see little harm in recapitulating any past requests. and if it actually saves him time, all the better.

anyways, like nc8000, i needed to send him new credit card digits, and he replied within a couple days to confirm everything.

hope springs eternal.

Jamato8. re the Reference (from iModded iPod).........it has proven to be the perfect mating to my 32ohm Darths. They are always brighter and a little less bassy than std Darths......the Reference tubey-ness rounds that brightness off ever-so-slightly so that they become more alive (fuller) like a closed upper-level Grado (BTW - also enjoy using the Reference with Alessandro MS Pro). Remember, this is one with the 22000uf cap.
